Engineered Mold Dummy Leadframe, Paper “Fiber”

  • Recommend applications:

    • Alternative for precious metal leadframes or BGA laminate substrate with 7e bar
    • Fine pitch packages and/ or high density packages

    Special Features:

    • Laser cutting process – eliminate tooling charges
    • 2 ~ 3 days for evaluation samples after receipt of drawings
    • Stress relief and shrinkage compensation incorporated during design stage
    • Consistent and accurate dimensions resulting in better reproducibility of MOLDING results.
    • Stringent moisture control check prior shipping

    Major Challenges Surpassed:

    • Inconsistent MOLD filling caused by rough edges around minute dimensions
    • Uncontrolled moisture level causing curling, bowing, warpage, or wringkle
    • MOLD sticking or MOLD bleed resulting from inconsistent moisture content

    Special Handling Requirements:

    • Shipments are in sealed plastic bags with desiccant
    • Recommended storing similar to real production leadframe/s to preserve moisture properties
